Grading Policy: In the School of Architecture, a grade of C of higher must be earned in each course used for credit toward an undergraduate degree. Grades are final and not negotiable.

Letter Grade Definitions 100 to 90 = A, Exceptional Student strongly exceeds all requirements as provided by the instructor. The work products and quizzes reflect a genuine comprehensive understanding of concepts and design vocabulary. The work product not only meets the requirements of the project but also goes above and beyond the scope of work. An “A” student challenges reading material, lectures and assignments. Presentation drawings demonstrate excellence in craft with a high level of attention to detail.

Attendance Policy: Class attendance is essential. No makeup of assignments is possible and no tardiness will be excused due to the scheduling of weekly visits. No excused absences without a note from a physician.

Late Work Policy: No late work will be accepted and no project extensions will be granted unless warranted by health issues accompanied by a physician’s note. If illness is documented, alternate assignments may be issued on an individual basis.

Drop Policy: Students may drop or swap (adding and dropping a class concurrently) classes through self-service in MyMav from the beginning of the registration period through the late registration period. After the late registration period, students must see their academic advisor to drop a class or withdraw. Undeclared students must see an advisor in the University Advising Center. Drops can continue through a point two- thirds of the way through the term or session. It is the student's responsibility to officially withdraw if they do not plan to attend after registering.

With the passage of federal legislation entitled Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), pursuant to section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, there is renewed focus on providing this population with the same opportunities enjoyed by all citizens.

As a faculty member, I am required by law to provide "reasonable accommodations" to students with disabilities, so as not to discriminate on the basis of that disability. Student responsibility primarily rests with informing faculty of their need for accommodation and in providing authorized documentation through designated administrative channels.

All persons involved in academic dishonesty will be disciplined in accordance with University regulations and procedures. Discipline may include suspension or expulsion from the University.

"Scholastic dishonesty includes but is not limited to cheating, plagiarism, collusion, the submission for credit of any work or materials that are attributable in whole or in part to another person, taking an examination for another person, any act designed to give unfair advantage to a student or the attempt to commit such acts." (Regents’ Rules and Regulations, Series 50101, Section 2.2)
